###Cache Maintenance Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit, to address the issue described in the logs.
The cache owner needs to either fix the problem or archive the listing, after picking up any geo-litter. In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page.
[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)
If there is a good reason for a delay in enabling this cache, please post an update note log here on the cache page so that everyone will know the progress of restoration efforts.
When the maintenance is completed, you can re-enable the listing by entering an "Enable Listing" log, and then post an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" attribute, if set.
**I will check back in 30 days** to be sure that the maintenance has been done, or that further information has been provided.
If there has been no action to repair the cache, or explain the situation, unfortunately I will need to Archive this cache. *Caches archived because of lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.*
The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.
Thank you

Ummm i found the geocache but what happened to the lid & log book i do not know
Found the container in the grass away from the spot I found it the first time, no lid or contents. I’ve placed the empty container back where it originally was
The last cache for today as I have been caching in the Devonport area. This was my second attempt at this because my GPS was to say the least erratic. With perseverance I had the cache in hand and a damp log signed.
Easy find. Needs urgent maintenance. Log book drenched and growing mould. No container to be seen
Found the log in a plastic bag at the base of tree, not in a container, very easy find TFTC
This cache may need maintenance as it was out in the open and not in a container before any rain comes
While doing the tourist thing on our way to Deloraine we stopped in and found this one.

Coming back from up on near the Great Lake this looked close so we stopped to have a look. The hide took a while to find and we had to use the hint as the corrida seemed about 10m out. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC
Hi Zentanglers, this lovely new cache with plenty of swag for the kids was found easily on a very foggy morning. Decided not to venture under the bridge just in case I woke them up. All good with the hide at GZ.
Lovely views on the drive in. Cache should've been easy to find but took me a minute!! TFTC - In great nick now.
Sorry cachers - will get around within the following next month to do maintenance on all my HIDES, thanks for your patience
Tassie Trip Day 184 - This was a travel day, it saw us take in the views of the Great Lake and the wonderful little places along the way. A nice picnic lunch and some beautiful sight along the way.
This was a DNF for us after some extensive searching in the area we only found some rubbish that had been dumped in the nearby creek and a lid of a fruit container. So no cache was found for us.
Thanks Samsandjessnat for this nice spot to visit.

This is in desperate need of maintenance, unfortunately I had no spares with me to replace it.
Today caching was planned around the St Arnaud Preparation event at Devonport. A successful day of over 30 finds, 7 caches types and a new LGA ticked off. Was lucky enough to pick up 4 FTF s long the way.
I am currently writing detailed logs because of a challenge provided by Project-GC. "The Author" Badge challenges geocachers to average one hundred words or more in each log. Given that I have found so many GC caches, I have to write many logs with well over 100 words for a long period of time to get my average to the target. Apologies to anyone who finds the logs tedious but it is the only way that I can strive to attain this challenge. After over 5000 plus caches (which includes all cache finds up and including yesterday), the average log length is just over 70 words. I am now entertaining the possibility that I might be able to achieve my task before the end of next year. It's surprising how much is has increase since doing this.

Made a quick find of what remained of the cache, which was only the wet log book and the lid. TFTC
I also found a partially destroyed cache just sitting in the fork of a tree. I signed the log and looked about in my car for something to protect the log but sadly had absolutely nothing to do the trick. It needs some attention.
I found this cache but it had been destroyed.
Usually I replace the container and log but on this occasion I didn't have a spare.
This cache was hunted, tagged and released by activehunters. Tftc.

Apologies for the cut and paste logs. We're travelling and I prefer to spend evenings trying to solve puzzles in readiness for the Ozgeomuster in Morriset over Easter.
The priorities for the day were - exploring, walking, caching and 4WDing and in that order. So we left our van in Deloraine and travelled south. It was a great day - lots of sun, not too hot and some great walks up and down Tasmania's never ending hills . Hills ? They're more like mountains! And we even managed to find some timber tracks to follow, or not as the case was at times.
This was #10 find. I had not intended to grab this cache but while on my way to another, Alice, aka my car Nuivi, told me this one was here. It certainly took ages to find as Monty, aka my GPSr, and Sam ( sung ) both had me going in circles. Eventually CIH, log signed and cache returned to its hidey hole. Thanks for the cache Samsandyjessnat. TtbLN

A pretty spot to stop
Isn't that true of so many Tassie spots ??
This spot stood out from the crowd as there is no rubbish dumped here !! [:o]
Yes !! It's true, there is a picturesque little spot in Tassie by the side of the road,
that doesn't have tyres, whitegoods, tellys, dirty nappies, asbestos, assorted builders rubbish or garden waste piled up down the back
Well that's a first for me [^]
Nearby in the tree,
I soon found this cache
Due to the rottenness of the hidey hole,
a lot shorter arm is needed these days [^]

Good find I spent the day going Geocaching with AddisonPascal and Bindismum but for this cache I found with AddisonPascal
We went up to mole creek and found some Geocaches there and got an ice cream
We also went to Deloraine and I found maybe 4 or 5!

Hi there Zentanglers.
We are camped at Old Mac's Farm, near Launceston (EIEIO ). We are planning to find some geocaches around the area in the next few days. We found your cache **"Boot's Troll Bridge"** at 4:13:00 PM today. (This brings our total find count to 18517).
We ended up finding a variety of container types and sizes on our journey & found 6 caches (& DNF'd 2).
Thank you for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places to visit on our nomadic wander around Australia.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

You pwned us n00bs.
We will return. My Wacky tour guide suggested that there has been a lot of water down here so the cache may have gone awol like me.
Thanks to Zentanglers and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

Back in Tassy and at lunch came past for a quick find. I had no pen but there was a pencil in the cache. SL and replaced TFTC.
Found with taurus1955. An easy find. Lots of evidence of flood damage nearby, but cache was dry. TFTC
Found while travelling around Tasmania with misschief18 - lucky to add another smilie to our collection

I went for a ride to Scottsdale today, and picked this cache up along the way. tftc.
Quick easy find and on what is promising to be a hot day. TFTC
We're half way through our six month stay (til the end of March '16) from the Kurrajong area, (Blue Mountains) NW of Sydney, to tour in the caravan and also visit our kids and grandkids in the Huon Valley On four previous visits before this visit, we were muggles, so we have a whole island of caching fun ahead of us!

Plan for the summer. Hike, 4wd and Geocache around Tasmania. It will be a great adventure. Cheers for all the caches along the way.
Easy one and a small but love overnight camp spot TFTC from Angus88 the great GeoWestie and his Carer Lis Brown both grey nomads living on the road and currently spending their fourth summer in Tasmania.
Escaped home for the evening to spend a couple hours cache hunting. Easy road side find on a quiet county road.

A 10 day trip to Tasmania with a lot more caching then initially expected, but I enjoyed every minute of it! This was one of the many caches I found and enjoyed. Can't wait to get back here and do it all over again, there are so many great places in Tasmania.

A check of the usual spots around bridges failed to locate the cache. Broadened the search to other obvious locations and soon had it to hand.. thanks..!!
Travelling around Australia and now in Tasmania!
Headed out from Loira to the Westbury region today. Still some snow on the hilltops we see.
Beautiful in the sun but when it ducked behind the clouds a bit cool.
Found your cache to help us with our exploration of the area. [^]

GZ has obviously been damaged since this cache was placed, the cache is much easier to access than described, might be worth a look by the co. Thanks for bringing me here and thanks fr the cache.
Was passing through the area and stopped to find this cache. I was out caching with Magertom and whilst he was busy talking with our muggle companion, I set to work to find the cache. Quickly found it thanks to the hint. Nice hide. TFTC!
Traveling with my young boys and a big muggle, I didn't have much time for caching, but luckily I was staying at my grandma's farm which was just around the corner from this one. Thankfully, my darling 88 year old grandma is much more adventurous than my big muggle, so I took her and the boys out to find this one. While I was waiting around for the gps to hone in on gz, I went searching for the thing listed in the clue. We poked around here and there, peered down the bank and before I knew it, dear old grandma called out "Is that what you're looking for?". Here she is, standing on a slippery slope, container in hand - what a surprise, she's a natural!
Grandma thought this was a great idea for her other great grandchildren, and is keen to share the fun with them, as long as she can convince their parents to join in and manage the 'technology' side for her.
Thanks for the cache

Nice quick and easy find. Lots of swaps for young cachers. Thanks for the cache.
Great place for a cache hide. Babbling brook, place to park, very pretty, very quiet.
TFTC getting dark so this will be the last find for the day - 8 finds & 1 DNF - not bad for 1 day.
On the way to Launceston the weather isn't nice but not too cold - feel comfortable for the cache day... Thanks
Nice little spot with good parking and a decent sized cache. Hide is starting to show its age but otherwise everything in good dry condition
Left behind some great superheroes! Cool spot, the tree has altered a bit with age. Easier to grab. Tftc!
We had to widen our search area a tad. Then retrieval proved no problem even for the shorter armed member of our team.
